Isaia 46
1 Mibotreke ty Bele, Midrokoke ty Nebò; vavè’ o bibio, o añombe mijiny kilankañeo, ty sare’e; nampilogologoeñe o raha endese’ areoo o biby mokotseo.
Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
2 Mibokoboko iereo, mitrao-piondreke, tsy nitafete’ iareo i kilankañey; vaho songa nasese mb’am-pandrohizañe añe.
They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
3 Mijanjiña ahy ry anjomba’ Iakobeo, naho ry sehangan’ anjomba’ Israeleo, o nivesareko boak’am-pisamaha’eo, o notroñeñe boak’ an-koviñe ao
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
4 pak’ an-ka’anterañeo, Izaho ro Ie, ho babèko pak’ a maròy foty irehe; Izaho ty namboatse, izaho ty hinday; eka hotroñeko mbore hampipalireko.
And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5 Ia ty hampañirinkiriña’ areo amako, naho hampihambaña’areo, vaho hampanahafa’ areo, soa te hifañoronkoroñe?
To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
6 Mandrarake volamena boak’ an-kotrañe ao ty ila’e, naho mandanja volafoty am-balantsy; vaho mañarama mpanefe volamena hañamboare’e ndrahare, hibokobokoa’e naho hitalahoa’e.
They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
7 Jinie’ iereo an-tsoroke, endeseñe, apo’ iereo amy toe’ey, ie mijagarodoñe eo, tsy hienga i toe’ey; eka, ndra t’ie kaikaiheñe tsy mete manoiñe, tsy haharombak’ aze amy hasosora’ey.
They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8 Tiahio le mijadoña; ampolio an-troke ao, ry mpanan-kakeo.
Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
9 Tiahio o raha taoloo, eka haehae; te Izaho ro Andrianañahare naho tsy aman-tovo; Izaho ro Andrianañahare vaho tsy eo ty hambañe amako,
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Mitaroñe ty figadoña’e hirik’am-baloha’e, boake haehae añe o mbe tsy nanoeñeo, ami’ty hoe: Hijadoñe ty ereñereko, vaho hene hanoeko ze mahafale ty troko;
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Ho tokaveko boak’ atiñanañe añe ty voroñe mipay hena; t’indaty nisafirieko boak’ an-tsietoitane añe; eka fa nivolan-dRaho le ho henefeko, niereñeren-dRaho vaho hanoeko.
Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 Haoño iraho, ry gan-katokeo, ry lavitse havañonañeo.
Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
13 Hendeseko marine eo ty havantañako, tsy ho lavitse, tsy halaoñe i fandrombahakoy; vaho hatoloko amy Tsione ty fandrombahañe, ho a’ Israele engeko.
I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
